Setley Ridge Vineyard produces a range of still red, white, and rosé wines, along with occasional limited-production sparkling wines. They cultivate grape varieties such as Seyval, Schonburger, and Reichensteiner for their white wines, and Regent, Rondo, and Triomphe for their reds. All of the wines crafted at Setley Ridge are vegan. The vineyard boasts its own on-site winery, where the entire winemaking process, from grape to bottle, is completed. The team is committed to environmentally sensitive practices, fostering a rich diversity of flora and fauna within the vineyard. While their wines are enjoyed by many, no specific major awards or certifications (such as organic or regenerative) were found in the available information.

The vineyard is easily accessible by car, situated just off the Lymington Road.
